Who makes the S&W MP15 AR15 carbine?

Does anyone know who makes the S&W MP15 carbine; Stag or DPMS maybe? I'm thinking of buying the optics ready one tomorrow; I have the front sight and carry handle/rear wight from DPMS that fit on the dovetails of the DPMS gun and I wanted to make sure that they would fit. Any opinions of the S&W carbine; locally about $815 here in PA. Thanks

Stag used to make their AR's, but now S&W 'manufactures' them in-house.
Keep in mind that - same as most AR manufacturers - they use components like barrels, bolts, fire control group parts, sights, etc. from other manufacturers. I've seen S&W lower receivers that contain all Colt manufactured fire control group parts, but that's not to say they all do.
If I'm not mistaken their lower receivers are actually manufactured by CMT. I'm not sure if S&W does any final finishing work on them or not, but the ones I've disassembled have the tightest pin holes I've seen. In the long run that's not a bad thing.
